Posted July 8, 200817 yr Coldplay likely to hold off Duffy challenge again 10:48 | Tuesday July 8, 2008 By Paul Williams Coldplay are set to become the first act to spend five consecutive weeks at number one on the UK artists albums chart this year as they again fight off the challenge of Duffy’s Rockferry. The Parlophone-issued Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends has opened up a lead of a few thousand sales over A&M/Polydor act Duffy, according to early sales figures. The Duffy album has been at number two for the past three weeks behind Coldplay. Almost Gold/Mercury act the Black Kids are eyeing a top five debut with their first album Partie Traumatic, while initial sales suggest Beck could be making a similar impact with his first XL album Modern Guilt. His previous album did not chart in the UK because it was in breach of chart rules. The growing popularity of their current hit single Photograph and the continuing impact of its predecessor Rockstar are setting up Roadrunner act for a Top 10 return with their album All The Right Reasons, while The Age Of The Understatement, the first album by Domino’s Last Shadow Puppets, is poised to climb from its current position 40 into the Top 20 this coming Sunday as the single Standing Next To Me leaps from 109 into the singles chart Top 40. Former Beautiful South frontman Paul Heaton will debut in or around the Top 20 with his W14/Universal solo debut The Cross-Eyed Rambler, while other new albums potentially lined up to enter the 40 include sets from Stone Gods, whose line-up includes former members of The Darkness and who have their self-titled own label, Cooperative Music’s Alkaline Trio and Domino’s Tricky. On the singles chart Dizzee Rascal’s Calvin Harris and Chrome collaboration Dance With Me should give his own Dirtee Stank label a second week at one with Hard2Beat/MOS’s Basshunter with All I Ever Wanted the biggest challenger to the crown. Atlantic artist Kid Rock is likely to achieve his first-ever UK Top 10 single and first of any kind in the Top 40 since 2000 with All Summer Long, which is set to make a steep climb from its present chart position of 46. Mercury’s Sharleen Spiteri is lined up for her first solo Top 40 hit with All The Times I Cried, while the Top 40 should also welcome new hits from 14th Floor’s Wombats and Virgin’s Kooks. ================================================ Singles 01 Dizzee Rascal 02 Basshunter Top 10 Kid Rock Top 40 (Not in any particular order) The Last Shadow Puppets Sharleen Spiteri Wombats Kooks =========================== Albums 01 Coldplay 02 Duffy Top 5 Black Kids Top 10 Beck Nickelback Top 20 Last Shadow Puppets Paul Heaton Top 40 Stone Gods Alkaline Trio Tricky PLEASE NOTE Please keep this thread on topic at all times, I do not want to repeat myself every week, no text talk is allowed, do not write in block CAPS, and keep all requests in one post if you can, and try to read the thread topic before asking a question and please be patient while you are waiting for your question to be answered.
